How much maintenance do you actually do on your equipment?

So I'm an aspiring firefighter and currently reading the FF1 textbook to get a headstart.

One thing I noticed about the text is how much it encourages (or moreso says is mandatory) the maintenance of equipment. I don't mean PPE maintenance either - I more mean the other stuff, like sharpening and cleaning axes, haligans, ladders, etc.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how many of you work for departments where maintenance of ALL equipment is done regularly as the textbook says to?

I ask because I saw video recently of a firefighter using a wood handle axe to prop the hood of burning car open. That makes it seem like there's a lack of care for equipment in some places?

How often do you inspect every single piece of equipment? Do maintenance them yourselves?
